M39003/01-2454/HSD Capacitors

Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are highly conductive capacitors, typically with higher capacitance values than other types of capacitors. They are mostly used in industrial, military, and aerospace applications. They are also used in consumer electronics. Tantalum capacitors are built using a conductive electrolyte and a tantalum compound, which is formed into a ‘pellet’ shape.

M39003/01-2454/HSD Application Field and Working Principle

The M39003/01-2454/HSD is a standard military-grade, hermetically sealed, leadless, surface mount, tantalum capacitor. It is specifically designed for applications where reliability is critical, and it has a wide range of potential uses in most military, government, industrial, and commercial applications. It meets the performance requirements of MIL-PRF-55365 and MIL-PRF-39016.

This capacitor utilizes an electrolytic-filled tantalum element. The element is rolled flat and housed in an epoxy case lined with a conductive material. This increases the capacitance level and reduces the amount of electrical noise generated during operation. The capacitor also has a high operating temperature range, ranging from -55°C to + 125°C. It also offers high stability, low leakage, and low temperature coefficient, making it a reliable choice for many applications.

The working principle of the M39003/01-2454/HSD is similar to other electrolytic capacitors. The capacitor is formed with the electrolyte and two metal plates. One of the plates is connected to the positive (+) terminal while the other is connected to the negative (-) terminal. When current is applied to the terminals, ions are attracted to the plate that is connected to the negative terminal. This causes an accumulation of charge on the plate and creates an electric field. This electric field is then across the two plates and creates a capacitance. As the capacitance of the M39003/01-2454/HSD capacitor increases, so does its ability to store energy.

Tantalum capacitors such as the M39003/01-2454/HSD offer higher capacitance values than other types of capacitors and have great reliability, making them a popular choice for many applications. They are highly durable, cost-effective, and easy to install.
